I'm not religious but I do know that he bible mentions some pretty old dudes... Methuselah, for example, reached almost 1000 years according to Genesis.
Anyway, as a molecular biologist it is my belief that the practical lifespan for humans could be raised to astounding ages through genetic engineering and biotechnological methods. At that point people would still die due to things like car accidents and gun shots, but the careful people could live quite a long time indeed.
